Edouard Pailleron
John Singer Sargent American
Not on view
Édouard Pailleron (1834–1899) and his family were among Sargent’s earliest patrons. The success of the young artist’s portrait of Carolus-Duran at the Salon of 1879 probably attracted the attention of the French family. Although this portrait was not exhibited in public until 1893, the image of Pailleron— the bohemian writer, standing in a pose of studied informality with a dog-eared book in his hand—was widely circulated in a popular French periodical.
